Anthony Romero: “What happened with Adama today has been spectacular. Before in the Premier he played inside, not on the wing. This De Jong is the one who fell in love with Europe playing with Ajax and now we see why. Daring, who has even fulfilled the match decided. It could be one of the big news of the night. With him, the leap in quality is unquestionable. But I would like to see this version of Barça against a different rival and one that bites. Napoli have not pressed. Much thanks to Barça that he has minimized. But Barça suffers with rivals who bite”.
Mario Torrejon: “It was between tender and poetic to see Barcelona’s drool analyzing what they didn’t want before: to play on the counterattack. This denotes what was before at Barça: lack of quality.”
Sique Rodriguez: “Today’s game raises self-esteem and scares away ghosts. Barça has been adding hits in Europe”.
Jordi Martí: “It seems like a certain turning point, there will be a lack of continuity. The midfielders, strikers and scorers like De Jong and Pedri, Pedro is an improved player. He has established himself as the team leader. a team plays well many players means that the coach sees that his hand is noticeable.
Mark Lopez: “If you broaden the focus to the last 5 games, you see that they drew miraculously against Espanyol, humiliation against Atlético…. It shows the great change in this team. As Piqué said ‘now we do have gunpowder'”.
Lluís Flaquer: “It is the night in which the ‘buts’ to Barça have been cleared up, but leave a little more space to reduce the ‘buts’ to Xavi”.
